i upgraded to the 2.2 software about 4 days ago and since then, my phone has been acting out, with the screen pausing during use or flickering when i try to scrolll through my home screens.

today, i had my phone off for half the day and turned it on. all i'm getting is a white screen with flickering vertical lines on the right side. so far the iphone's been good, ever since i replaced it 3 times in the beginning due to build quality and screen defects.

i'm stuck with a non-functioning iphone and i was supposed to be on call for work tonight. just my luck?

anyhow, would it be possible to exchange this at the apple store even though it's been 5 months since purchase?

have you restored it?
Especially because this one doesn't have build quality issues, you might wanna try that.

I've only had my iPhone for 3 days, and have experienced nothing but problems.

1 Time - Black Screen of Death

3 Times - White screen of Death

Network wont switch over to 2G when 3G signal is low or not at all.
Callers get dropped, not even a voicemail option.

Phone locks up in sleep mode.

I've had to bring it to instore for a reset, and have to constantly reset it myself.

The phone came with 2.1 and itunes updated to 2.2 - wish I had read more before that!

Is there any fix in sight for this ? I'll give it another week, then its going back.

My razor worked better than this phone! It's more of a retarded PDA than a phone.

Who is starting the class action lawsuit against apple. Put me on the list!

I got the first iPhone here in Mannheim and hoped that the firmware updates would fix all my issues I had with that baby (slow UMTS speed, reboots, ...)

but a week ago the silent mode switch broke off and just one minute ago the white "screen of death" also appeared on my phone.

Thanks to all your messages - i'll visit T-Mobile after work and hope I'll work out with a brand new one -too bad it didn't happened yesterday - I just applied my gelskin :(
